Nanofiber Filter Technologies For Filtration Of Submicron Aerosols And Nanoaerosols by Wallace Woon-fong Leung, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Nanofiber Filter Technologies for Filtration of Submicron Aerosols and Nanoaerosolscovers the nanoaerosols (less than 100 nanometers) to larger submicron aerosols due mostly to pollution, which are present in high number concentration in our surroundings. People are breathing these nanoaerosols daily without being aware of it. Airborne viruses from flu to coronaviruses are also nanoaerosols. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it took a long time for health authorities and the General Public to recognize the airborne transmission mode of the virus. This leads to inadequate protection and ineffective virus control strategies resulting in high infection and death rates. The book cites evidence and observations pointing to the airborne transmission mode of the coronavirus. It also discusses different filtration technologies using nanofibers to capture these aerosols for short-term filtration, where aerosols are trapped in the filter (depth filtration), and long-term filtration, where aerosols are trapped in the growing filter cake (cake filtration). This book provides a good understanding on how nanofibers, which is of size 1/1000 times that of a normal human hair, can effectively filter these tiny aerosols. NFT , organized in four sections fundamentals, deep understanding, technologies, and application, covering comprehensively on the subject, is a valuable resource for undergraduates and graduates, engineers, researchers and practitioners in related industries. Describes technologies with insight and use basic engineering principles to build-up technologiesIncludes extensive clear and understandable figures and tables to enhance key conceptsUses examples throughout to explain engineering principles and interdisciplinary conceptsThe only book in the market focusing on nanofiber filter technologies for filtering submicron aerosols and nanoaerosols | Nanofiber Filter Technologies For Filtration Of Submicron Aerosols And Nanoaerosols by Wallace Woon-fong Leung, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
